“The Mayor’s STEM Nights” will kick-off on Tuesday, October 21st at 345 Walnut Street with free pizza at 6:00 p.m. and the program beginning at 6:30 p.m. Congressman Joe Kennedy III and local software company PTC will join Mayor Warren for the inaugural event.

Dear Residents,

Please join me this month as we launch the “Mayor’s STEM Nights” a new series designed to spark Newton students’ interest in the STEM disciplines – science, technology, engineering and mathematics. By partnering with one STEM industry business each month, this series will provide students with an exciting, hands-on experience that will demonstrate the practical application of STEM beyond the classroom while building on a larger city effort to engage students outside of school.

The first of the “Mayor’s STEM Nights” will be held on Tuesday, October 21st at 345 Walnut Street in Newton. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. with free pizza and the program will begin at 6:30 p.m. Mayor Warren and special guest, U.S. Congressman Joe Kennedy III will kick-off the evening followed by an interactive presentation by PTC, a local software company. PTC employees will also be available to share their own stories and answer students’ questions. All are welcome to attend.
